Jean Mary Madden

Jean met the love of her life, James, in 1956 and they were married a year later. In 1958, the first of the five Madden girls arrived.

Jean worked in the credit department of Pomeroy’s Department Store. She also worked as the Transcript Clerk at Bucks County Community College and as a temporary employee for Educational Testing Services and the Law School Admission Council.

Jean was a woman of deep faith, which sustained her through the deaths of her husband, James in 1985 and her daughter, Tricia, on November 8, 2019. She was a member of Saint Frances Cabrini Parish, a Community that lifted her up in prayer and gave her comfort and strength during her recent illness.

Everyone who knew Jean knew she loved her God, her family, and football (especially Penn State and Notre Dame)! She knew even the most obscure football rules and could tell you what college most of the NFL attended.

Loving mother of Jean E. Madden, Michele Kravitz (Joe), Joanne Schaeffer (Mark) and Kathleen Chalmers (Jim.)

She was a devoted grandmom to Monica Ramagli (Joe), Kristen Nelson (Alex), Katie Kravitz (boyfriend, Zach), Liz Kravitz, L.J., Matthew, Sean and Alexandra Chalmers and great grandmom of Liliana and Christopher Ramagli.
